This review focuses on the superconducting properties of MgB 2 that are relevant for power
applications. The reversible mixed state parameters are the most important, since they …

Superconducting magnets have a variety of industrial, medical and research applications.
This review discusses the prospects for MgB 2 superconductor for practical magnet …

Normal-state conductivity in polycrystalline MgB 2 bulk samples having a systematically
varied packing factor was studied. The packing factor dependence of phonon term resistivity …

We studied the influence of the disorder introduced in polycrystalline Mg B 2 samples by
neutron irradiation. To circumvent self-shielding effects due to the strong interaction between …

This book presents the state of the art of the synthesis of materials, composites, and
chemical compounds, and describes methods based on the use of ionizing radiation. It is …

We report specific heat measurements on neutron-irradiated MgB 2 samples, for which the
critical temperature is lowered to 8.7 K, but the superconducting transition remains extremely …

The grain boundaries in superconducting MgB2 are known to form effective magnetic flux
pinning sites and, consequently, bulk MgB2 containing a fine-grain microstructure fabricated …

We report the effect of α-particle irradiation on the reduction of the critical temperature T c of
a<? format?> NdFeAs (OF) single crystal. Our data indicate that irradiation defects cause …

MgB2 superconductors have the outstanding potential to be integrated into diverse
commercial applications. However, the critical current density J c in MgB2 is still smaller …

We show for the first time the results for small coils, which were wound with unreacted
magnesium diboride (MgB 2) wires with nano-amorphous isotopic boron (11 B) by using …
